Watch out everyone, Team 17 has announced their latest Worms game for Sega's machine!

We all knew it was coming, but Team 17 has finally gone public with the news that Worms Armageddon is indeed heading for the Dreamcast. IGNDC recently took time out to speak with Martyn Brown, the Development Director at Team 17.

Upon asking him how his team have pushed the Worms franchise with their latest installment, Brown commented, "Worms Armageddon takes the game about as far as we can in its current format. Everyone shouts "Worms3D" but that isn't the answer, we've been looking at doing the game in 3D for years and there are a number of things which stop us. I know a few people will be confused when we release a 2D game on the Dreamcast, but it's still a remarkably playable game and it deserves to be on the DC format, especially when it'll have everything that the PC version has - hopefully modem play too."

Curious to see if Team 17 would make use of the Dreamcast's VMU, we were informed, "VMU compatibility is something we are looking at, it would be really cool to interact with your saved Worms teams, fight them in the exterior of the main game and possibly trade awards, cheats and stuff."

A firm release date has yet to be pencilled in, but Martyn and his team are hoping to have the game out by this Christmas in America. For all the details on what to expect from Worms Armageddon, check out the list below:
